Registration Starts: Friday, December 1, 2017

Location:

Online - www.d2l.msu.edu Asynchronous, non-interactive, online, self-paced

Description:

This online training is for relatives raising relative children.

In the State of Michigan, over 28% of children under the age of 17 have experienced two or more adverse childhood experiences, well above the national average. Adverse childhood experiences include verbal, psychological, physical, or sexual abuse (witness or victim), among other somewhat complex traumatic events (ACES Study, 2011). These traumatic experiences can greatly affect how children view and cope with life. Complexly traumatized children often behave in ways that seem random, unpredictable, withdrawn and extreme, struggling with impulse control and being able to think through consequences (NCTSN, 2017). Research and practice are now opening our eyes to the significant relationship between behavior and Trauma exposure. In this workshop, you will learn about common similarities and differences between typical developmental behaviors and Trauma behavior, as well as, the interrelatedness of each. You will receive strategies for parenting children who are exhibiting big behavior due to trauma exposure. In addition, you will receive tips and resources for further education and tools available to families.

Description:

Not all injuries cause pain, and not all pain is due to injuries. An explosion of brain research demonstrates that all pain is constructed by the brain as a danger/alarm function. It is imperative to distinguish pain caused by structural disorders from pain caused by neural pathways in the brain. Appropriate treatment of pain is guided by this distinction with the goal of resolution of pain for individuals with neural pathway-induced pain.

Holiday Inn Gateway Centre, 5353 Gateway Centre, Flint, MI 48507

Description:

“Your child has a disability.” While regularly uttered in doctor’s offices, classrooms, and clinics, it is rarely done so with celebration and hope. How families and the professionals who work with them think and talk about disability has a profound and long-lasting impact on the life trajectory of the person with a disability. Compound the stigma of disability with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), complicated and disconnected service systems, and children with disabilities become increasingly vulnerable. All families, especially those involved in child welfare, can benefit from coaching about how to navigate service systems, where to access formal and informal support and resources, and how to effectively advocate for their children. Using an innovative national framework called Charting the LifeCourse, this training will present tools you can begin using in their own lives as well as the lives of the families they serve. This training will utilize role exercises and small and large group discussions.
